A good choice, IMHO. In military modeling, think how silly this product is. You add it to gloss paint to make it flat, then you have to apply a gloss coat to apply decals before applying a clear flat to get everything flat again!

Cool deal on the Buff!!  I do recall that ChuckW used it in a mix for some kind of wash or fade. Have to go back and look for that.

Buff is the appropriate color for the upperworks of pre/post Spanish-American War USN ships (during the war they went overall gray).

NOTE:  Flat Base is not a paint.  It is not a color.  It is an additive.  Its purpose is to give gloss paint a satin or flat finish.   Mix it with the paint before application.   Do not overpaint with straight flat base unless you want a frosty-white appearance.
